The Christmas Song

The Jackson 5

Merry christmas 
Merry christmas 
Merry christmas to... you 
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire 
Jack frost nipping at your nose 
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir 
And folks dressed up like eskimos 

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe 
Help to make the season bright 
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow 
Will find it hard to sleep tonight 

They know that santa's on his way 
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh 
And every mother's child is on the spy 
To see if reindeer really know how to fly 

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase 
To kids from one to ninety-two 
Though it has been said many times, many ways 

Merry christmas (merry christmas) 
Merry christmas (merry christmas) 
Merry christmas to... you
